Server-Side: Exposed Web Service Method

On the server side, we define a method and expose it as a web service. This method takes two integer inputs, var1 and var2, and returns their sum as an integer result.

SOAP DECLARATION(var1; Is integer; SOAP input) SOAP DECLARATION(var2; Is integer; SOAP input) SOAP DECLARATION(res; Is integer; SOAP output) res:=var1+var2

For more information on how to create a web service method, please refer to this article.

Client-Side: discovering the Web Service with web services wizard

On the client side, click on Design => Web Services Wizard.

Next, enter the URL of the WSDL file for the chosen web service. In our case, since we are working locally, the URL is:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/4dwsdl/

Then, click on the Discover button to allow 4D to parse the contents of the WSDL file. After a few moments, the central area displays the parsing results: the name of the web service(s) and the published method(s) appear as a hierarchical list.



Finally, click on Create. 4D will instantly generate the corresponding proxy method and display it in the Method editor window.

// // proxy_test_soap_1 // http://127.0.0.1:8080/4dwsdl/ // // Method source code automatically generated by the 4D SOAP wizard. // ---------------------------------------------------------------- C_LONGINT($1) C_LONGINT($2) C_LONGINT($0) WEB SERVICE SET PARAMETER("var1"; $1) WEB SERVICE SET PARAMETER("var2"; $2) WEB SERVICE CALL("http://127.0.0.1:8080/4DSOAP/"; "A_WebService#test_soap_1"; "test_soap_1"; "http://www.4d.com/namespace/default"; Web Service dynamic) If (OK=1)   WEB SERVICE GET RESULT($0; "res"; *) // Memory clean-up on the final return value. End if
